To create a podcast, you can download a free software called Audacity from this web site: http:\/\/audacityteam.org<\/a><\/p>\r\n

DO NOT CLICK THE DOWNLOAD button, but click the link below it that says “Download without Muse Hub.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\"Image<\/div>\r\n

Follow the prompts to install.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Once installed, Audacity is simple\u00a0to use. It works just like a voice recorder with record, stop and play buttons.<\/p>\r\n

Download the Audacity Quick Start PDF file – NEW<\/a><\/p>\r\n

When you have completed your recording, you MUST\u00a0 save it as an Mp3 file. If you do not save it as an Mp3 YOUR INSTRUCTOR\/STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY IT. Pay attention to where you save your Mp3 file.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Once your sound file is saved as an Mp3 you can upload this file to your class on PLATO, just like you would add a file such as a Word Doc, etc. We suggest you add it using the paperclip tool in the HTML editor.<\/p>\r\n

If you have saved your Audacity file as an AUP file it will not open for listening. It MUST be “EXPORTED” as an Mp3 to be used effectively.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

If you have questions or trouble with this, please submit a help ticket with the PLATO Help Desk.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
